Ok folks - who here actually gives a flying fsck about gay characters in a game, or a movie, or your work place?
Sure archetypical stereotypes can be offensive, you may be unsure about your own sexuality, you may be expected to react appropriately (see vilify) in front of your peers, etc. But, in essence it should not be any more offensive than a republican, or a dog, or anything else that you are not.
VPN should be offloaded to a seperate box/boxes (NB: boxen is not the plural of box, just as foxen is not the plural of fox - although that does imply that bixen should be a female box...).
Even with the higher end router/vpn embedded solutions there seems to be an appreciable slowdown in the other traffics response times and throughput when the VPN is being heavily used - and the hardware acceleration in these systems is liable to "better" than the C3 acceleration.
Does anyone know if the C3 can do h/ware accelerated 3DES? AES is good, but compatability is better... I would assume the RNG could also be applied to DES/3DES to at least improve performance.
"floppies are a very economical way of transporting small files arond(sic)".
Ahahahahahahaha...... Bwahahahahaha..... snigger.... *wipe tears from eyes*
Ah such fond memories - the new 10 pack of floppies, the floppy cleaner, and two adjacent (un-networkable pcs). Clean, copy, error, repeat. Disassemble drives, clean heads manually. Clean, copy, error, repeat. Disassemble other pc's and transfer different floppy drives into the pc's. Clean, copy, error, repeat.
Chuck a tantrum, smash the fsck out of all your floppy drives and disks , throw them away. Rip out hard drive and insert into other pc...
If someone points out that they can rate limit the upstream bittorrent into a bittrickle(sic) without user intervention and that this combined with the current choking algorithm should push clients towards other internal peers if they exist. So in the long run, it could save them bandwidth costs.
Of course, this does rely upon them also accepting that bittorrent is used for linux ISO's and other "educationally legitimate" purposes.
I'm not sure on US law, but in Oz it is "Public Liability" and "Professional Indemnity".
They are two distinct areas of insurance. Public is to protect you if a visitor (non-employee) trips over in your office and breaks a leg. Professional is for when you fsck up (as parent said - data loss, etc).
That said, when I was establishing my IT company it was astounding how many traditional insurance firms would outright refuse to insure us. They wouldn't demand overzealous premiums, but flatly refuse to insure IT startups.
There is more than enough demand for this, if Pamela can keep them afloat (she's got the skills) then it will benefit us all.
I hate to interrupt - but are we talking 2.4 or 2.6 here??
Low latency is indeed the issue in audio performance, and prior to 2.6 it verged on the attrocious. The new (semi)preemptive kernel has brought massive improvements in audio latency with the userspace mixers, and to my mind has negated the pressing need for a kernelspace mixer.
Prior to 2.6 I would have agreed that the kernel was the only place that could be able to provide vaguely realtime (ie low latency) performance, now I feel it is less certain.
I hope things improve, currently I cannot replace my win2k home studio with anything but a mac (like the studio at work), and I have tried.
I remember seeing an optic fibre array that was used to detect curvature and provided early detection of micro-fractures. From memory it used "circular scored" optic fibres for the measurement section and measured the diffraction(?) of the resultant light.
It seems that this could be a big "value add" for embedded concrete - Having a realtime stress diagram of a building would be invaluable in some locales (san fran, kobe, etc).
I am a big believer in the diet principle of existence - that variety is the "spice of life".
If he is a proto-geek who shuns sunlight, air and water - go white water rafting, cycling, throw a frisbee around, bush walking, whatever.
As people expand their horizons they become more confident in dealing with a broader range of life experiences - including people and the strange conventions we insist on following.
Oh the other side of this is the absolute reprehensible sexual segregation in many schools. They allow no contact between boys and girls during their formative years, then are surprised when they don't have a fucking clue how to interact woth each other...
I don't do much on windows myself nowdays (if MFC and I never meet again, it will be too soon) but another dev mate gave up trying to figure out what the buggy control was meant to do and went and downloaded the leaked windows source.
So after literally WEEKS battling with this show-stopping bug, it took him a couple of hours to find the code, identify the bug and implement a work-around in his code...
It could be argued that the true enemy of MS is a free(license gripes aside) windowing system.
Linux CLI is "just another Unix" system without a pretty GUI for mom and pop user.

PS. Darl McBride - I was kidding about the "just another unix" bit...
You have a point, but don't really consider the fact that the "customers" (scamming bastards or not) are an intrinsic part of the business environment.
If the business model does not take into account the basic greed, selfishness and cunning of the environment, then it is doomed to failure.
That is not to say that I agree with the actions of the above posters, but it is naive to believe that the companies did not bring it upon themselves.
Not entirely true....
Even in poetry you have to remain within the confines of what defines "poetry".
If I just pour some ink on the page, make a big ol' ink blob... that isn't poetry.
If I crumple up some paper in a big ball, that isn't poetry.
If I cut off my ear and stick it in a plastic box, it isn't poetry.
If I run naked through my back yard, it isn't poetry.

Let me guess - you are a fscking american. I funnily enough am not.
I believe people should make "good on" their promises (dictionary usage), and it is indeed colloquial usage (slang or "hick-speak" for the cerebrally challenged) in australia to express approval using the same phrase.
I funnily enough don't get upset over dialectic differences on international websites, but anal retentive hair splitting over slang usage makes you seem like a fool.
Q. (Bad timing, 48 hours without sleep and I'm looking for a fight:)
Linux does not discriminate (at least at the user level) between a directory and a disk. That is the whole concept of the unix-esque filesystem structure - all disks are just directories.
Right so corona creation/flow/discharge and it's effects on biological systems are well understood are they? Pfft.
My point was that ionised air in a low frequency AC electric field can create VERY complex phenomena - not just discharge, but flow patterns that you would NOT expect. If you add high frequency modulation to the mix I can guarantee that there will be unexpected interactions between the signals...
Ah good, I meant to post the updated link in my reply.
I have found that karma seems to win in the end with a lot of those who rise/fall by the whim of the masses. Or as other more succint people have said - the truth will out. It's mostly just annoying that he still won't hand over the domain. It truly shows his heartfelt commitment to the world community...
Well good on the Austrians (and Japanese, and etc.). Funnily enough I agree that emergency communication is more important than more places to receive high speed spam. Have we all seen the graphical representation of BPL's effects?
I am yet to see any sort of comprehensive study on the environmental effects of modulating power lines (a damn difficult task without BPL in the mix), there has been a lot of FUD but very little research. I do not know what rating power lines they intend to transmit these signals over, but I have spent many an interesting hour reading about the effects that the existing 50-60Hz AC current has on the ionised air around high tension power lines. Regardless of the more esoteric "corona flow" and "ionic squirt" of high voltage lines, it is a bad idea to expand our power lines into higher frequencies.
The non-ionizing portion of the spectrum can be subdivided into:
The optical radiation portion, where electron excitation can occur (visible light, infrared light)
The portion where the wavelength is smaller than the body, and heating via induced currents can occur (MW and higher-frequency RF).
The portion where the wavelength is much larger than the body, and heating via induced currents seldom occurs (lower-frequency RF, power frequencies, static fields).
Wavelength bigger than body = good.
Wavelength smaller than body = bad.
Pick your favourite religious zealot and try and get them to agree that their belief is equivalent to a high probability. As I said, semantic hair splitting, but hey I brought it on myself. Was in an argumentative mood after dealing with my two year old breaking his leg.:(
Yeah, but if you can't flood the (non-target) mail servers with forged emails for fewer bits than a signature lookup, then you may as well just DoS the target directly. Both will leave just as much trace of your IP address...
